The Spyderco Manix 2 in Black FRN combines a 3.375-inch blade in CTS-BD1 with a black FRN handle, a Ball Bearing Lock, made in the USA.
CTS-BD1 is a dependable, American-made stainless steel, prized for a balance of edge retention, toughness, and easy sharpening. The Ball Bearing Lock is Manix 2’s signature mechanism, a mechanical design using ball bearings rather than a spring-loaded liner, giving the lockup a distinctly smooth, precise feel and strength that stands well apart from a standard liner lock. This particular FRN-handled variant keeps the whole Manix 2 platform lightweight and comfortable for easy all-day carry.
Made entirely in the USA, the Manix 2 represents one of Spyderco’s most mechanically distinctive, well-engineered designs. It answers a specific want: Manix 2’s distinctive lock mechanism at a lighter overall daily carry weight. The Manix 2’s mechanical design has earned a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive engineering. Spyderco continues to offer the Manix 2 across a wide range of colors, steels, and handle materials. Explore more Modern EDC Linerlocks.
